CAPACITY BUILDING FOR GRASSROOTS WOMEN IN CLIMATE ACTION THROUGH STORYTELLING

Thursday, 24^th August | 15:00-16:30 CEST  

Register here!

As is increasingly evident through changing seasonal and weather patterns, climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. It impacts everyone everywhere and has resulted in devastating impacts, such as loss of viable agricultural lands and biodiverse ecosystems. One way to build a climate change response - at the grassroots and global level - is by documenting women's climate change adaptation stories. 

Capturing the stories of women who are empowered because of newly acquired technical expertise has multiple benefits, from introducing new ways for both men and women to work together, to helping the public learn more about how women become empowered by taking on leadership roles and providing a baseline for how women's narratives change over time. 

Join this virtual dialogue and storytelling event to hear the testimonies of women from the Global South to showcase their agency, sense of leadership, and empowerment across the globe! To register for the event, please click here. For more information on the event, head to the event webpage.
